Another decoupling question...?

Yep - I have some of the exact same tantalums here. That looks rather like a 47µF one to me, but it's hard to make out the markings on that photo.

And yes, pads are free, but components cost. Adding pads where they might be wanted in the future is always good. It doesn't cost any more, and could save a whole bundle on a board re-design.
